Ontdek Dresden

Dresden Castle, also called the Residenzschloss, was for almost 400 years the residence of the electors and kings of Saxony. Largely destroyed in the 1945 bombing of Dresden and rebuilt after German reunification, it now houses museum collections including the Historic and New Green Vault, the armoury, and a coin collection.

The Zwinger is a Baroque palace complex in central Dresden, built from 1709 under architect Matthäus Daniel Pöppelmann for Augustus the Strong. Its pavilions, galleries and gardens surround a courtyard with fountains, and the Semper Gallery wing, added in 1855, now houses several of the city's art collections.
